DESCRIPTION:
Elvis was the greatest entertainer of all time, and so many years after his passing he still has millions of fans! This song is my humble attempt at keeping his memory alive.

Tupelo Mississippi Man
By Danny Maness

A lonely man was walking through the forest in the morning,
He stopped and took a drink out of a stream,
He saw the tiny ripples as he leaned down by the water,
And he thought back to the time when he was "King."

The sun was rising swiftly as he sat and rested gently,
On a grassy spot that grew upon a hill,
He thought of all the beauty he had seen in all his travels,
But he knew that he would have to travel still.

He's a Tupelo Mississippi Man,
And he travels all across this land,
By night or by day when the coast is clear.

He's a Tupelo Mississippi Man.
'cross a mountain range through the desert sand,
And he don't know where he's going,
But it's a long, long way from fear.

He walked down through a valley and he came upon some children,
Playing games and singing songs by a shaded wood,
He thought about his daughter who grew up without her father,
He would touch her lovely face if he only could.

Through tears of joy he sang to them "new" songs they'd never heard,
'bout a hound dog, a teddy bear and a heart of wood,
Then he had to laugh when a little boy stood up and said to him.
For an old man you sing those songs real good.

He's a Tupelo Mississippi Man,
And he travels all across this land,
By night or by day when the coast is clear.

He's a Tupelo Mississippi Man,
'cross a mountain range through the desert sand,
And he don't know where he's going,
But it's a long, long way from fear.
